I ate at The Olde Pink House on a recent trip to Savannah. It is a historic home turned into a restaurant in the heart of downtown. The upstairs is an elegant dining room in which I did not eat. I am told that it is a more formal dining atmosphere than the alternative, which I will get to in a moment, but the menu is the same. The alternative is the tavern downstairs. But do not be fooled by the term "tavern," this is what I would picture an elite English Gentlemen's tavern to be like. There was a lady playing the piano and singing for those waiting for their tables. Be sure to get there early because it is usually packed. The food was excellent. Being from Louisiana, I am usually disappointed when eating out in other states since the food is often too bland. Surprisingly, the food in this restaurant, as well as in most of the other restaurants that I tried in Savannah, was perfectly seasoned. The women's bathroom in the tavern is supposed to be haunted by a long departed steward, but he must have been helping other guests the night I was there, for I did not see him. If I ever return to Savannah, and I fully intend to do so, I will certainly be returning to The Olde Pink House. more

Recently, on a visit to Savannah, we went to the Olde Pink House for dinner. It faces Reynolds Square in downtown Savannah and you really need reservations, but it's worth a wait for a table. They have an interesting old bar down in the basement which you can visit while you wait. The place is really old. It began in 1771 when it was called Habersham House, built on land that was granted by the crown of England. James Habersham lived there and was a wealthy planter who held secret meetings regarding the independence of the 13 colonies from England. Later the house was painted pink and became the first bank in Georgia. So the restaurant is filled with history, plus, they say, ghosts. As we dined by the fireplace we had a couple of experiences which we credited to the presence of ghosts, which added to the fun of the evening. And the food was magnificent and beautifully presented. We had beef tenderloin and it melted in the mouth. I highly recommend this restaurant for an elegant dining experience. more

The Pink House restaurant in Savannah is located in a historic house that is actually the color pink. My recent dining experience was a true pleasure and I got to get a wonderful taste of Savannah cuisine at its finest. I went for my anniversary and returned again for my husband's birthday. The Pink House has an elegant atmosphere and you get to eat in the different rooms. The tables are set with antique china and there is a romantic feel. Try the scored flounder with apricot sauce. It is amazing! more
